Has anyone ever two-toned their factory wheels? ... Using body or another colour as contrast?
Or replaced factory with colour matched rims of some kind?

I find my 2012 P4X factory rims somewhat boring and want to either spice them up or replace them altogether using body colour as the accent on factory or main colour on replacements. In my case B17 Metallic Blue is the match.

I'd be curious to see pics your enhanced wheels especially if they fit my thinking.

Yes, mine are also a two tone machined aluminum but a barely noticeable boring light grey on polished aluminum. I'm just looking for a way to dress them up a bit. Or replace them with something more interesting.

I like the new 16 and up P4X wheels and think that if I painted the center spokes blue it would suit my idea, but that's a bit pricey up here in Canada. And not so sure painting my existing ones would be the right look. So, I am actually thinking back to the 60's/70's with body coloured steel wheels and chrome rings and center caps (similar to attached image) for that classic custom look.

I just wondered if anyone here has done anything similar and how it turned out.

Here's a couple more samples of painted steel with bright touches. One with a Chrome baby moon center cap and the other with silver painted edge ring.

I am more partial to an actual chrome trim ring instead of the silver paint.

Also included is blue painted steel winter rims that would be the wheel I would likely purchase (for the sake of saving money ;-) ) but add a chrome trim ring and center cap to.
